Keep Reading About Merlot
Despite the bad rap in the movie Sideways, Merlot is still one of the world's most popular red wine grapes. With over 650,000 acres planted globally, this international grape comes in on most lists as the second most-grown wine grape, just behind Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemakers in places like Bordeaux, France, and Washington love it because it can grow anywhere (even in damp, cooler climates). It doesn't need much sun, and it produces large amounts of earthy grapes in years that destroy Cabernet Sauvignon. It's soft, easy, and mild and can be used to suit the winemaker's style. Consumers love it because it is easy-drinking with a distinct ripeness of flavor and smooth mouthfeel.
What are the best Merlot wines?
Merlot grapes are truly international. It can be found in wine regions as diverse as Australia and Argentina, and the wines come in many different styles. "Old World" Merlot (especially Bordeaux wines from Saint Émilion and Pomerol) is incredibly complex and takes time to develop and mature. Conversely, "New World" California Merlots are often grown in warmer climates, bringing out more plummy, fruity characteristics. These require little to no aging and are usually ready to drink as soon as you buy them. It also is used as a blending grape. It can be found alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carménère (a typical Right Bank French blend, but this pairing is also found in Sonoma and Napa Valley).
What are the tasting notes of Merlot wine?
Merlot is used to make varietal red wines that feature succulent fruit flavors with a soft texture. You often get massive amounts of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, and blueberry on the nose and the palate. If the wine has seen new oak barrels, there can be vanilla, chocolate, and spice hints that are bolstered by tannins.
